Triglyceride Levels Matters in Your Fight Against Heart Disease

How do doctors determine you are at risk for cardiovascular disease?

One way is to measure cholesterol and triglycerides. People with bad LDL cholesterol and/or low good HDL are at higher risk for heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Triglyceride levels count too. When you consume calories particularly from carbohydrate sources more than meets your immediate needs, the body makes triglyceride and stores it in fat cells.

You can do a lot on your own to keep triglyceride levels in a normal range:

• maintain a healthy weight
• change the types of carbohydrates you eat

It requires sustained lifestyle changes, but these lifestyle changes can keep you off medications.  Keep in mind there is no one recipe that works the same for everyone. Change what and how much you eat as a first step. Lose weight if you are overweight and be physically active.

A couple times a week of exercise will most likely not do the trick for anyone. It takes a good cardio work out for half hour at least every other day.

Cut from you diet:

• refined sugar
• alcohol
• other simple or refined carbohydrates
• replace these with whole grains

Foods that have the most impact on triglyceride levels are:

• white bread
• white rice
• baked goods made with refined flour
• breakfast cereals
• beverages with added sugar
• candy and sweets

If you are looking for more nutritious drinks without all the added sugar that goes into sports drinks, energy drinks and general sodas, try using Life's Abundance Minerals and Antioxidants drink mix once per day.

Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.
We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.
This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!

Busting Unhealthy Eating Patterns That Leads to Weight Gain

Are you an emotional eater? It is somewhat like an addiction. You get stressed out, bored or angry at someone and the way you help yourself deal with it all is a trip to refrigerator for something "tasty." I know because I been there many times. Will you grab the leftover bread pudding, or last night's leftover pizza? Maybe a trip to the refrigerator is not the route and you quickly get into the cookie jar instead. Before you know it you have downed a half dozen peanut butter or chocolate cookies you keep on hand especially for emergencies like this one.

The dynamics of emotional eating are:

1. trigger
2. craving
3. action

The above song and dance is a potent trio because it replays the brain's powerful ability to form deeply ingrained habits based upon repeated experiences. You been there before and when the time is right, you will return again so says your own tape recorded sessions inside your very own brain. It is a vicious cycle that leads to unhealthy eating patterns and weight gain.

There is good news about the human brain. It is very good at learning new strategies. Breaking a dysfunctional habit simply means posting a new habit over top of the bad one.

Spend some time figuring out what makes you slip into the emotional eating pattern. What starts the process. This is the trigger point. Your trigger point might not be stress or anger. It might be loneliness, fear or even procrastination. For example: You don't want to clean the house. Instead you grab a nice juicy donut.

Trigger points can even be excitement or desire. Identifying your trigger points will help you get out of the automatic mode of doing what you did before when the same thing happened. Instead of grabbing something unhealthy during those times, substitute with more healthy foods or any other activity that helps you avoid the unhealthy eating pattern such as listening to some favorite music.

The key is to accept the new process as a solution instead of becoming judgmental about the problem. Self criticism leads to discomfort that can trigger more emotional eating. If you find out your substitute behaviors do not work, it does not mean you are hopeless and it is never going to work. Try another substitute behavior until you find something that does work for you and sets you free of unhealthy eating patterns that leads to unhealthy weight gain.

Tips:

• keep portions of handfuls of baby carrots or apple slices in plastic baggies and keep them in the front of the fridge where you can grab them easily
• keep a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen counter or dining room table for easy grab and go
• keep some flavored sugarless chewing gum handy as chewing is an essential part of the eating experience that relieves your emotions
• some people find hot showers or a soak in the tub is helpful
• create a playlist of  your favorite music
• meditation-based mindfulness training helps you become more aware of your eating triggers and behaviors
• go out for a walk or job
• enjoy yoga or tai chi
• go to a local health club
• mentally distract yourself from cravings by playing computer games such as solitaire, catch up on social media and current news reports
• knit or crochet or start a new hobby
• organize a messy closet
